That's a great picture man. The colouring makes it look very professional

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! I'm flattered...

Another question: Do the Small Council members gain any trait or bring any bonuses?

They have some special powers. Its listed in the last post in the thread below.

Alas, the Queen has nothing

That's true, she should have some special traits on her own. Maybe she could act as regent if the king dies and the heir is under-age.

Adamat, I think Lord Arryn should tell Baelor that he has no idea where Beron and Daeron's corpse are.

[Adamat]

I think that's widely known, and that that convo is timewarped?

[Oznerol]

I've thought Baelor did not know it, he knows Beron tried to bring it to the Eyrie, but then?
Alexandrine has told nothing about it to the King. And I don't know if the conversation between you both it's timewarped, but it should. I don't think Baelor would crown himself without burying his father.

There's always that - some hardwired % of loyalty from the Crownlands would be nice though.

It's reasonable.

[Oznerol]

I have a question for you all, I want to hear your thoughts:

Baelor is doing rather good job as King, or not?
Than question is related to: I'm rpying the King well?

I always try to do my best.

[Lucius Malfoy]

You know can't award me the Highlordship of Ashford, Ornezol. Its in Reach territory. You can only award me territory in the Crownlands.

[Hengest]

Well he could, it would certainly make for some interesting politics, but perhaps not the sort a king should be after when trying to gain the support of the Reach!

Actually its a known fact in this game, Hengest. We have already gone through these sorts of debates before. The King can only award people territory he directly controls (i.e. the Crownlands). If he doesn't control it, he needs permission from the LP to do so.

[Pontifex Maximus]

He could order Lord Tyrell to

[Lucius Malfoy]

He could order Lord Tyrell to

Yeah he could. But in this case, Baelor just says, here have the Ashford High Lord position in exchange for Summerhall. No order to Tyrell accepting it or what not.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Just because the king shouldn't doesn't mean the king can't - it's an important distinction to make.

[Wheatley]

This isn't a despotic monarchy. And I do believe house Ashford is still very much alive. Their oaths to Highgarden have not been revoked and can not be revoked by the king. Only traitors can be treated this way, and the king has already pardoned the Reach for their treasonous acts.

[Poach]

Though again, can't and shouldn't are two different things. The King could try to force the issue, illegal or not. I'd just expect the playerbase to react accordingly.

[Hengest]

I wasn't aware there was a rule taboo about this. But for me personally, I think there is a possibility for RP drama rather than OOC drama Diplomatic incident in the king over-favoritising his friends at the expense of the former rebels. It creates tensions and complexities, and opportunities. If anything the Reach should be in such a position now that they shut up and do as they are told and accept that a foreign lord is being sent to keep his eye on the Reachmen. Besides, the Reachmen must be biding their time until Daemon returns, and this would be the perfect encouragement for them to brood and plan behind closed doors rather than to scream outrage. It is the king who is in power here.
Yes Ozneroi I think you are doing just fine. Enjoy yourself!

[Lucius Malfoy]

This point. Baelor did hint that Ashfords were traitors by saying they were loyal supporters of Blackfyre. So that's why it doesn't make sense.
